A woman accused police of inaction after her family's bodies were found, a month after she reported them missing, with the discovery linked to an investigation into two missing Russian siblings.
Four suspects, identified by police as 'Pong', 'Thong', 'Asadang', and 'Hatchanan', are in custody for the alleged murders of both the family of three and the two Russian siblings.
Suspect 'Thong' confessed to robbing and killing the family a month prior, with one perpetrator posing as a police officer to abduct and murder them, sexually assaulting the teenage daughter before burial.
The suspects face severe charges, including premeditated murder, robbery, rape, and illegal firearms possession, as their detention is extended for ongoing investigation.

Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul initiated a nationwide crackdown on illegal Thai nominee shareholders in foreign-run businesses and land holdings to safeguard national interests.
The government will integrate efforts across all relevant agencies to target illicit foreign operations, forced sales of illegally acquired property, and high-risk land ownership schemes.
Key strategies include auditing suspect land and building holdings, establishing a long-term monitoring system, and cross-referencing data from various authorities to trace ultimate beneficial owners.
Prime Minister Anutin emphasized that no influential figures or corrupt officials are above the law, promising straightforward prosecution, asset seizures, and protection for enforcing officers.
Beyond land ownership, the integrated crackdown will also extend to tackle transnational crimes, including drug and human trafficking.
